CENTRAL 


SUMMER  OF   1889.

AND  OTHER  VALUABLE  INFORMATION. 


PUBLISHED  BY  THE 
PASSENGER  DEPARTMENT  OF  THE  WISCONSIN  CENTRAL 


bearing  to  the  afflicted  and  depressed  a  joyous  message  of 
restored  health  and  vigor.  There  are  to  be  found  drives 
and  walks  and  shady  nooks  enticing  to  the  soul,  such  as  the 
ennuied  and  weary  sightseer  at  Eastern  social  watering 
places  rarely  dreamt  of  and  never  enjoyed.  There  are 
rocks  molded  into  pictured  shapes,  and  abysmal  bluffs 
which  drop  their  steeps  in  weird  and  fanciful  forms.  There 
are  to  be  seen  lakes  of  wild  and  often  terrible  aspect,  with 
inaccessible  shores,  mysterious  subterranean  outlets,  and 
waters  of  fathomless  depth.  There  are  antique  spots  of 
historic  interest,  mounds  of  Indian  relics,  sacred  altars  of 
the  early  Christian  missionaries,  and  hermitages  which  still 
draw  hordes  of  zealous  pilgrims  to  their  shrines.  There 
are  fish  in  profusion  for  the  angler,  large  and  small  game 
for  the  hunter,  maidens  fair  for  the  lover,  and  plenty  of 
elbow-room  for  the  incorrigible  small  boy.  There  the 
scientist  and  antiquary  constantly  discover  fresh  fields  of 
research,  the  clergyman  barren  of  ideas  sees  sermons  in 
every  change  of  scene,  and  the  impoverished  literary  fellow 
weaves  abundant  romance  out  of  a  single  month's  experi- 
ence to  liquidate  his  board  bill  for  the  remainder  of  the 
year.  There  the  ozone  diffuses  a  subtleness  that  drives  the 
dreamy  poet  into  ecstacies  of  harmony,  and  makes  the  nerv- 
ous business  man  stop  watching  the  stock  market  long 
enough  to  inflate  his  lungs.  There  the  aboriginal  Western 
tribes  held  their  primitive  pow-wows,  and  entered  into  their 
first  formal  treaties  with  the  invading  pale-faces.  There 
the  early  white  settlers  planted  their  log  cabins,  and,  with 
axe  in  one  hand  and  rifle  in  the  other,  struggled  vigorously 
to  develop  the  wondrous  resources  of  the  soil.  There,  in 
short,  has  been  concentrated  the  essence  of  the  enterprise 
of  this  western  country,  and  there  the  tide  of  wealth  and 
fashion,  commerce  and  agriculture,  art  and  society,  emigra- 
tion, and  summer  tourist  travel  turns  unceasingly  to-day. 
Compare  the  present  aspect  of  this  section  with  its  con- 
dition a  score  of  years  ago,  and  you  can  form  some  con- 
ception of  the  magnetic  influences  which  Wisconsin  asserts 
over  all  who  set  foot  within  her  borders.  The  writer  can 
recall  the  time  when  a  trip  into  the  interior  of  the  State  was 
considered  about  as  formidable  an  undertaking  as  a  journey 
to  New  York.  Turnpikes  were  few  and  in  poor  condition, 
and  a  divergence  of  even  a  short  distance  from  the  railroad 
track  was  quite  a  hazardous  affair.  The  farmers  of  those 
days  were  simple  folk ;  pious,  honest,  and  contented  with 
their  lot;  unmoved  as  yet  by  that  uneasy  spirit  which  inevit- 
ably results  from  an  increasing  knowledge  of  city  life  and 
the  desire  to  taste  its  sweets  and  partake  of  its  privileges. 
Suburban  trains  were  then  an  unknown  feature  of  railway 
traffic,  and  at  many  of  the  stations  throughout  the  State  the 


arrival  of  a  stranger  could  only  be  attributed  to  one  of  two 
causes:  either  he  must  be  a  new  drummer  for  a  metropoli- 
tan business  house,  or  his  visit  was  in  the  role  of  mourner  at 
the  funeral  of  some  long  neglected  country  relative.  Land 
sold  then  for  what  it  would  bring;  the  salient  element  in  a 
real-estate  transfer  being  the  purchaser,  rather  than  the 
price.  Property  adjacent  to  the  lakes  and  streams,  and 
which  is  now  most  eagerly  sought  for,  was  then  commonly 
discarded  by  the  natives  as  of  little  value,  its  rough  and 
stony  character  rendering  it  impracticable  for  tillage.  Were 
it  permitted  one  to  take  a  bird's-eye  view  of  the  State  in  the 
early  summer  months,  it  would  unfold  a  vision  of  natural 
grandeur  unequaled  on  the  continent.  The  sublimity 
of  the  Creator's  design,  the  perfect  harmony  of  form 
and  color,  and,  through  it  all,  the  admirable  diversity  of 
landscape,  might  then  be  better  appreciated  and  understood. 
As  it  is,  we  can  only  imagine  the  spectacle  from  such 
kaleidoscopic  glimpses  as  can  be  obtained  on  a  jaunting 
tour  over  the  State.  One  of  the  first  thoughts  which  crosses 
the  tourist's  mind  is  a  feeling  of  surprise  that  the  country 
has  survived  so  many  of  the  fads  of  civilization  without  in 
the  slightest  degree  detracting  from  her  original  attractive- 
ness. So  vast  is  Wisconsin's  territory  and  so  fair  her  entire 
surface,  that  there  is  no  temptation  for  suburban  pleasure- 
seekers  to  gather  in  crowds  at  any  one  particular  spot. 
From  Chicago  to  Minneapolis,  and  far  beyond,  the  country 
is  studded  witu  the  choicest  residence  sites;  and  it  must  be 
years,  possibly  centuries,  before  all  the  available  locations 
shall  have  been  occupied.  Every  additional  railroad  that 
pierces  the  State  unveils  a  new  treasury  of  summer  resorts 
to  the  gaze  of  the  traveling  public.  Every  camping  party 
and  logger's  crew,  who  penetrate  the  interior,  return  with 
reports  of  fresh  wonders  awaiting  discovery  in  the  depths  of 
the  forest.  Canoe  and  sporting  clubs,  who  cut  loose  from 
the  haunts  of  man  to  court  the  perils  and  adventures  of  the 
unexplored  streams  or  untrodden  pines,  come  back  with 
incredible  tales  of  the  hidden  wonders  which  they  have 
encountered.  Even  in  the  more  thickly  settled  portions  of 
the  State  are  unfrequented  and  comparatively  unknown 
spots  of  scenic  grandeur.  Within  an  hour's  ride  by  rail 
from  Milwaukee,  a  little  off  of  the  beaten  line  of  travel, 
loom  wooded  heights  from  which  may  be  obtained  a  view  of 
plain  and  forest,  of  silvery  creeks  and  shimmering  lakelets, 
of  distant  hills  and  valleys  ablaze  with  golden  grain;  a 
scene,  indeed,  unsurpassed  in  the  world;  and  yet  the  appear- 
ance of  a  liberally  inclined  stranger  in  those  parts  is  so  rare 
an  event  that  it  is  looked  upon  by  the  inhabitants  as  an 
occasion  for  general  thanksgiving. 

A  drive,  or,  better  still,  a  tramp  through  the  far-famed 
"lake  region"  of  Wisconsin  reveals  to  the  observant  wan- 

5 


derer  a  perpetual  change  of  delightful  views.  Hundreds 
of  summer  cottages,  varying  in  style  from  the  rude  cabin  of 
the  "  camper-out "  to  the  Queen  Anne  mansion  of  the 
metropolitan  millionaire,  are  encountered  by  the  eye  at 
every  turn  of  the  road.  Some  of  these  private  summer 
homes  are  truly  palatial  in  their  appointments  and  sur- 
roundings. Gorgeous  masses  of  bedded  flowers  line  the 
pebbly  walks;  the  lawn  is  kept  as  smooth  and  soft  as  a 
velvet  carpet  by  the  continued  application  of  steam  rollers; 
there  are  stables  and  boat-houses  elaborately  finished  in  the 
finest  of  hard  woods;  the  billiard  room,  bowling  alley,  shoot- 
ing gallery  and  tennis  court  afford  constant  entertainment 
for  the  visiting  guests  ashore,  while,  if  they  care  to  venture 
on  the  lake,  there  is  always  at  their  disposal  a  steam  yacht 
fit  for  a  Cleopatra,  with  white  enameled  sides,  softest  of 
plush  cushions,  and  brass  trimmings  so  highly  polished  that 
it  seems  almost  sacrilege  to  touch  them. 

Then,  there  are  boarding  houses,  summer  hotels  and 
kindred  places  of  public  resort  by  the  hundred,  which  spring 
up  on  every  side.  The  groves  are  filled  with  happy  groups 
of  noisy  picnickers,  whose  songs  and  laughter  fall  like 
rippling  water  on  the  ear.  Fishing  parties  dot  the  surface 
of  the  glassy  lakelets,  the  hotel  verandas  are  gorgeous,  in 
checked  seer-suckers  and  dainty  muslins,  strains  of  merry 
waltz  music  float  sweetly  through  the  trees,  and  the  whole 
picture  is  one  of  undiluted  pleasure  and  enjoyment.  Sat- 
urday evening  finds  the  trains  overburdened  with  worn  out 
city  people,  eager  to  escape  the  dust  and  heat  and  turmoil 
of  their  existence,  if  only  for  a  few  hours.  Fashionable  city 
pastors  are  forced  to  close  their  churches  and  go  abroad 
during  the  heated  term,  on  account  of  the  desertion  of  their 
congregations  for  the  country  over  Sunday,  and  the  metro- 
politan places  of  amusement  which  conform  most  closely 
to  the  rustic  style  of  entertainment  are  the  best  patronized 
— indeed,  the  only  ones  patronized  at  all  during  the  sum- 
mer season. 

Farther  northward,  the  aspect  changes  and  the  face  of 
nature  assumes  a  more  rugged  type.  The  gently  rolling 
prairie  of  alternate  field  and  grove  gives  place  to  forests  of 
denser  character,  the  clearings  become  few  and  sparse,  and 
finally  disappear  altogether,  save  at  the  logging  camps  and 
saw-mills  scattered  here  and  there  along  the  road.  For 
miles  and  miles  the  pine  woods  extend  in  solid  mass,  until 
the  observer  becomes  overpowered  with  a  sense  of  utter 
dreariness,  and  finds  it  difficult  to  realize  that  he  has  not  been 
transported  back  into  a  primitive  age,  and  that  only  a  few 
hours'  travel  serve  as  a  barrier  between  himself  and  the 
highest  modern  civilization.  So  intense  is  the  loneliness, 
that  he  readily  imagines  that  his  present  environments  have 


always  existed.  The  lessening  roar  of  his  departing  train, 
as  it  whirls  away  through  the  forest,  leaving  him  bewildered 
by  the  unexpected  solitude  of  the  pines,  seems  to  his 
imagination  like  the  parting  message  of  an  old  friend,  of 
whose  companionship  and  aid  he  has  suddenly  been 
deprived.  A  few  days'  sojourn  in  this  apparent  wilderness, 
however,  will  convince  the  most  fastidious  tourist  that  his 
venturesome  journey  has  not  been  in  vain.  Is  he  a  botanist 
or  geologist?  He  discovers  floral  and  mineral  curiosities, 
which  excite  his  admiration  no  less  than  they  test  the 
accuracy  of  his  knowledge.  Is  he  a  philologist?  The 
strange  types  of  humanity  all  about  him  —  savage,  semi- 
barbarous  and  emigrant  —  afford  a  study  which  keeps  his 
mental  activities  constantly  on  the  qui  vive.  A  sportsman 
or  angler?  Within  a  stone's-throw  from  camp,  he  stumbles 
upon  a  tiny  brooklet,  teeming  with  speckled  trout  of  a  size 
which  have  hitherto  existed  solely  in  the  camp-fire  yarns  of 
his  companions.  A  mile  back  in  the  timber  he  finds  a  calm, 
mirror-like  lake,  whose  placid  depths  disgorge  gamy  mon- 
sters, shrunken  counterparts  of  which  he  was  wont  to  gaze 
upon  with  awe,  when  exhibited  at  the  city  fish-markets  in 
days  gone  by.  The  next  morning,  with  a  half-breed  Indian 
for  a  guide,  he  shoulders  his  rifle,  and,  if  not  reduced  to 
total  collapse  by  an  attack  of  the  treacherous  "buck ague," 
when  evening  falls,  it  finds  him  footsore  and  famished,  it  is_ 
true ;  but  bursting  with  pride  as  he  surveys  the  magnificent 
specimens  of  antlers  and  bear-skins  .displayed  at  his  feet. 
It  takes  but  a  few  days  of  this  sort  of  existence  to  satisfy 
the  most  languid  society-swell  that  life  is  worth  the  living, 
after  all.  To  an  invalid,  the  atmospheric  benefits  of  North- 
ern Wisconsin  are  simply  incalculable.  The  air  of  that 
region  possesses  an  indefinable  purity  which  no  other 
climate  in  the  world  can  bestow.  A  single  night's  slumber 
in  the  open  air  will  drive  from  a  disordered  pair  of  lungs 
the  tainted  accretions  of  a  lifetime  of  stuffy  bedrooms. 
Sleeplessness,  headaches,  restless  dreams,  tired  awakenings, 
are  unknown  terms  in  the  hygiene  of  the  undeveloped 
Northwest.  Quandaries  concerning  sewage  and  sanitary 
plumbing  do  not  as  yet  enter  into  the  philosophy  of  back- 
woods pioneering.  The  people  eat  plain  food,  drink  clear 
water  and  breathe  pure  air,  leaving  their  livers  and  their 
consciences  to  nature's  beneficent  care. 

In  this  portrayal  of  the  characteristics  of  the  State, 
names  have  been  purposely  excluded.  To  allow  even  one 
to  enter,  would  be  to  open  the  gates  for  a  legion.  Scarcely 
a  mile  of  territory,  from  Lake  Michigan  to  the  Mississippi, 
or  from  the  Illinois  line  to  the  majestic  Superior,  but  con- 
tains within  its  bounds  innumerable  spots  of  enchanting 
beauty  and  absorbing  interest.  Often  as  this  subject  has 

7 


been  dwelt  upon,  wide  as  its  praises  have  been  sung,  there 
yet  remains  an  inexhaustible  mine  for  future  rhymesters 
and  historians.  Every  summer  brings  a  fresh  swarm  of 
pleasure-seekers  into  this  charming  realm,  and  their  eager- 
ness to  return  year  after  year  speaks  volumes  for  the  stay- 
ing qualities  of  Wisconsin  summer  resorts.  Other  sections 
of  the  Union — east  and  west  —  may  advertise  their  attrac- 
tions and  point  to  their  proud  career  as  successful  watering 
places,  but  the  ever-increasing  popularity  of  Wisconsin, 
the  marvelous  growth  of  her  tourist  population,  and  the 
vast  number  of  permanent  summer  homes  in  course  of 
erection  within  her  borders,  crown  her,  indisputably  and 
Par  excellence,  the  Natural  Park  of  the  continent.

brated lotus  beds,  concerning  which  the  Fox  Lake  Muskallonge  says:  "Among 
the  most  curious  and  interesting  scenes  in  this  northern  country  are  the  famous 
lotus  beds  of  Fox  Lake,  111.  The  readers  will  remember  that  it  was  the  great 
poet  Tennyson  who  sang  not  many  years  ago  of  the  wondrous,  sleepy  redolence 


and  the  soft,  seductive  beauty  of  the  lotus  beds  of  Egypt.    It  was  the  great  queen 

,  d 

sk  h 
lotus  buds,  and  it  was  the  same  buds  that  the  ancient  Greeks  once  used  to  dream 


. 

Cleopatra,  the  most  charming  of  all  women,  who  used  daily,  in  the  oppressive 
heat  of  her  Southern  home,  to  ask  her  slaves  to  fan  her  to  sleep  with  the  odor  of 


themselves  out  of  life  into  happiness,  as  the  opium-eater  merges  himself  off 
into  dreamland.  Well,  it  is  the  same  lotus  buds  that,  by  some  strange  process 
of  nature,  have  found  a  footing  in  the  cold  depths  of  Fox  Lake,  and  there  is,  so 
they  say,  but  one  other  place  in  America  where  they  can  be  found,  and  that  is 
Florida,  the  land  of  flowers.  The  lotus  bud  is  like  the  white  pond  lily,  but 
larger  and  yellower  and  fragrant,  which  the  pond  lily  is  not.  It  has  a  rich  and 
beauteous  center,  too,  and  is  as  softly  delicate  in  all  its  parts  as  the  most  ex- 
quisite wax  flowers.  The  fragrant  odor  of  the  lotus  permeates  the  atmosphere 
for  miles  around  Fox  Lake,  and  the  sweet  perfume  of  myriads  of  other  varieties 
of  beautiful  wild  flowers  of  that  lovely  region,  intermingling  with  that  of  the 
lotus,  produces  a  melange  most  exquisitely  agreeable  to  the  olfactory  nerves. 
Parties  daily  visit  the  beds  in  small  row-boats  to  gather  lotus  buds.  The  bed 


'  gc 

srs  acres  "and  acres,  and  looks  like  a  vast  melon-patch  on  top  of  the  water, 
with  great  round  green  leaves  floating  everywhere,  and  these  magnificent  yel- 
low buds  are  thick  as  daises  in  a  meadow,  drooping  their  sleeping  heads  beneath

SECTION  1.  No  person  or  persons  shall  be  allowed  to  set,  place  or  use  any  gill,  fyke,  pound, 
seine,  dip,  or  other  net  or  snare,  in  the  inland  lakes,  rivers,  or  streams  of  the  State  of  Wiscon-

be  taken  with  a  dip  net  having  a  hoop  not  exceeding  thirty  inches  in  diameter,  between  the 
tenth  day  of  November  and  the  fifteenth  day  of  December  in  each  year).  The  inland  lakes,

except  Lake  Superior,  Lake  Michigan,  Green  Bay,  Sturgeon  Bay,  that  part  of  Fox  River  lying

forty-six  (46),  in  town  twenty  -four  (24)  north,  of  range  twenty-one  (21)  east,  according  to  gov- 
ernment survey,  and  private  ponds.  This  shall  nut  be  construed  to  prevent  the  catching  of

seines,  of  not  more  than  fifty  feet  in  length,  nor  more  than  three  feet  in  depth  except  in

person  or  persons  of  any  such  net,  snare  or  fish  specified  in  this  section  upon  or  on  the  border 


of  any  such  inland  lake,  river  or  stream  shall  be  prima  facie  evidence  of  the  use  of  such 

atching  or  taking  of  such  fish  therewith  by  the  person  o 
whose  possession  they  are  found  ;  and  all  such  net  or  nets,  snares  or  fish  so  found  shall  be  taken 


net  or  snare,  and  the  catching  or  taking  of  such  fish  therewith  by  the  person  or  persons  in 
whose  possession  they  are  found  ;  and  all  such  net  or  nets,  snares  or  fish  so  found  shall  be  taken

before  whom  such  conviction  is  had.  Provided,  That  such  minnows,  shiners,  chubs,  dace 
or  stickle-back  so  caught  for  bait  shall  not  be  taken  in  quantities  exceeding  one-half  bushel 
in  measure  at  any  one  time,  and  no  such  fish  caught  for  bait  shall  be  allowed  to  be  shipped 
out  of  the  State  of  Wisconsin. 

SEC.  2.  No  person  or  persons  shall  be  allowed  to  fish  for,  catch  or  kill  with  any  device, 
nor  shall  any  person  or  persons  sell  or  offer  for  sale,  or  buy  or  have  in  their  possession  any 
brook  trout,  mountain  trout,  rainbow  trout,  Mackinaw  trout,  pike,  black,  green  and  Oswego 
bass  or  muskallonge  during  their  spawning  season.  The  spawning  or  closed  season  shall  be
